Discover Tis U Blatna

Tis u Blatna can be discovered from different perspectives: the landscape of the Horní Střela Nature Park, cycling routes connected to the area and individual cultural monuments each offer a different focus. If you are looking for a hotel for your stay, these themes can help guide your choice of destination. The routes and sights also provide practical starting points for planning.

Nature and landscape around Tis u Blatna

Tis u Blatna is located in the Horní Střela Nature Park. The surrounding area is predominantly characterised by meadows and forests, and is suitable for walking as well as picking mushrooms and other wild fruits. The nature experience ranges from spending time outdoors to purposeful foraging, without requiring a specific route.

Towards Žihle, a granite rock city with groups of rock formations and individual boulders lies nearby. The named formations include Dědek and Bába. This rocky landscape is a distinct landmark alongside the meadows and forests surrounding the town. If you are orienting yourself by notable natural features, you can therefore distinguish between the general landscape and the individual rock formations.

Cycling: routes through the town and a loop ride

Two cycling route descriptions list Tis u Blatna as part of their course. Cycling Route 2261 passes through the town; the listed section runs between Žihle and Tis u Blatna. Route 2152 runs from Velečín via Tis u Blatna to Podbořany. The main difference between the two descriptions is their stated routes.

Another way to get your bearings is the Podbořany–Rabštejn nad Střelou–Podbořany cycling loop. It is 75.3 kilometres long; Tis u Blatna lies at kilometre 44.0. You can take both the loop’s total length and the town’s position along the route into account when planning. For specific tour planning, it is advisable to check current route conditions.

The Sklárna nature trail

The Sklárna nature trail is an 8.1-kilometre loop. Parking is available at its start and end in the Sklárna settlement. After going around the Petrák pond and Raštická louka, the path leads close to Tis u Blatna. Two detours lead to the Mravenčí stezka and Lidčina skála.

The information about the nature trail offers several practical planning details: the loop’s length, parking at both ends and two named detours. Its route passing close to Tis u Blatna is distinct from routes that pass through the town. This makes the nature trail a separate option alongside the two cycling routes.

Church and monuments

The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is a filial church of the Roman Catholic parish of Kralovice; this status may change. It was originally dedicated to Saint George. In the 14th century, it was remodelled in the Gothic style. The building has a single nave, a pentagonal presbytery and a tower above the west façade.

The town’s monuments also reflect different historical periods. The statue of Saint John of Nepomuk dates from 1825. The Tis u Blatna memorial cross dates from 1890 and is considered an important example of craftsmanship from the late 19th century. It stands on a granite pillar next to the bricked-up lower gate of the church. Another monument commemorates the end of the Second World War and stands by the road. Together, the church, statue, cross and monument offer different starting points for exploring the town’s cultural history.

Practical information

The sports facilities at Pension U Čapků may also be used by the public by arrangement with the owners. If you would like to include this option in your plans, check on-site whether it is currently available. This keeps the nature and route offerings, cultural monuments and this conditional usage option clearly distinct aspects of your stay.
